Vibration Of the Et,,e,

Photography has never reproduced mt
ural colors. Scientists explain this fact
by the statement tnat color has no OBJ
jective existence. It is simply the brains
Interpretation Of the rapidity with which
the waves Of ray of light beat against
the retina. Beats more rapid produce the
sensation of the mind known as violet;
beats less rapid, that known as red. Violet
and red are nothing but variations Of the
ether until they reach the optic nerve and
communicate to that the vibrations, which
the brain translates. To photograph
color is therefore as imoossible rs to
photograph sound.-Fran' Leslie's.

She flashed upon him the light Of her
pure, lovely eyes, and said passtnately:

still. And when I returned to Paris O
few months ago, an orphan, mistress of
my own fortunes, alone in the world, I
learned your strange story. Force Of con-

Hgion. Like myself, you were freeP'
The very sound Of that word seemed to
. have magic for her ears. The timid, hesi-
tating look Of appeal vanished, her voice
grew strong, firm, exultant. Tears rose
: to the sweet eyes and trembled on the
deicately flushed cheek, but they were
tears of pure joy.

He bowed acquiescingly. Yes, 1t was
all true. So much his face said.
"AIl that ]. have Is yours, she went on;

The clear impassioned voice broke down;
{ the fair head dropped; the hand she held
to her heart was kissed and believed with
tears.
Throughout the latter part Of their in

spell. Once or twice he was fain to inter
